I wonder whether we will ever get to find who or what was
responsible. It’s easy to speculate that it was a case of mistaken identity on
the part of some amateur with his untrained finger on the launch button of an
air-to-ground missile, but judgement must be reserved.
It does occur to me, however, that there might be a lot of
people with Malaysia Airlines tickets out there who are currently muttering ‘Oh
my God! Things always happen in threes.’ I don’t think they need worry. I was
brought up to believe in that old superstition and I’ve been seeking evidence
for it all my life. So far, there has been none. It’s been my experience that
in the scheme of repeating forms, the number 3 occurs no more frequently than
any other number.
